Jana Valdé Cusachs

I’m Jana Valdé Cusachs, a graphic designer and emerging artist based in Barcelona. I graduated from ELISAVA Faculty of Design and Engineering, where I developed a practice that moves between graphic design, art direction, and sensory design. My work explores the relationship between the body, perception, and communication through experimental formats that combine visual language, materials, and physical experience. I’m especially interested in how design can engage with social realities while remaining playful, poetic, and emotionally resonant. My latest project, Bleh! Ode to the Tongue, investigates oral perception, macroglossia, and childhood therapy through food design and graphic identity, transforming therapeutic exercises into joyful sensory interactions. Through my practice, I aim to create projects that connect care, expression, and design.
